Configure a Test PayPal Payflow Link Payment Module

In order to add the PayPal Payflow Link Payment Module to a
project, please undertake the following steps:

Copy the 'Sana.Commerce.Payment.PayPal.PayflowLink.dll',
'Sana.Commerce.Payment.PayPal.PayflowLink.pdb' and
'Sana.Commerce.Payment.PayPal.PayflowLink.xml' files from the
PayPal release to the 'Frontend/Bin' folder of Sana Commerce;

Configure the Sana Commerce frontend to use the PayPal Payflow
Link payment module. This configuration is performed in the Starter
Site's 'web.config' file:

This payment method will be available for all countries
configured in the system. No translations for the payment method
will be set by this script - this should be done manually. After
the script has been run, all fields should be checked for the
correct values.

Before running the script make sure that you have changed the
'@siteId' variable (if needed) to match the appropriate website
identifier.

Request a test Payflow Link account from PayPal and modify the
LOGIN and PARTNER to the login name and partner you have received
from PayPal. For test accounts directly acquired from PayPal, the
partner is 'PayPal'.

In the PayPal Manager backoffice under 'Service Settings ->
Configuration', uncheck all the checkboxes for Required Fields and
Editable Fields under 'Billing Information' and 'Shipping
Information'. This information will be provided by the Sana
Commerce webshop.

Customize the look and feel of the Payflow Link pages in the
PayPal Manager backoffice, under 'Service Settings ->
Configuration'.

In order to test the payment flow in the development
environment, there are two possible scenarios:

The development machine/server cannot be
accessed externally by the PayPal server (most common
scenario). In this case add all domains used by the development
server in the 'DebugDomains' setting in the Starter Site's
'web.config' file. Multiple domains can be separated by the ','
character.

To test successful orders, in the PayPal Manager backoffice change
the Silent POST URL to a publicly accessible page that returns a
HTTP status of 200.
To test failing orders, change the Silent POST URL to a publicly
accessible page that returns a HTTP status other than 200.

These settings will make it possible to test the whole flow of a
test payment, when the confirm page cannot be reached by PayPal.
These settings are for debugging purposes only and should not be
used in any live situation.

The development machine/server can be accessed
externally by the PayPal server. In this case you can configure
PayPal to test the payment flow. Remove the 'DebugDomains' setting
from the payment module configuration. In the PayPal Manager
backoffice configure the correct Silent POST URL of the development
machine/server under 'Service Settings -> Configuration'.

If there are problems with the PayPal
Payflow Link payment module make sure that URL which you use as the
Silent POST URL is on port 80 (or port 443 if you have an SSL
certificate installed) and is publically accessible and exists
within a firewall that does not prevent PayPal from connecting with
it.

Test the payment/checkout flow to see if everything works,
using the newly configured payment methods and the correct payment
statuses that are set.

Fraud Protection Services
FilterManual review of transactions that are flagged
by Fraud Protection is not supported. Fraud Protection can be
configured under 'Service Settings -> Fraud Protection' in the
PayPal dashboard. There are two options to deal with the reviewing
of transactions:

Set all filters to 'Reject' instead of
'Review'
This setting will automatically reject all the transactions that
are flagged by Fraud Protection. This may result in the rejection
of valid transaction. If you choose to leave the settings on
'Review', then you should never approve a transaction manually,
because these orders will not be handled by Sana Commerce.

Disable all filters
If you disable all filters, Fraud Protection will be effectively
disabled. Any suspicious transaction that would otherwise be
flagged by Fraud Protection, will automatically be approved. This
may result in the approval of fraudulent transaction.
